Read our privacy policy E Jean Carroll’s lawyers have hit back at Donald Trump’s defence that she was “too ugly” to be assaulted, saying that a photograph of the two together proved the author was “exactly his type”. The trial centres on allegations made by Ms Carroll in a 2019 book excerpt that Mr Trump sexually assaulted her in the mid-1990s inside the dressing room of a New York department store. Mr Trump, who has denied the allegations, previously responded to the accusations by saying: “She’s not my type.” In her opening statement, Ms Carroll’s lawyer Shawn Crowley described to jurors the graphic details of the assault, stating that Mr Trump “jammed his hand up her dress, pulled down her tights and forced his penis inside her”. “In her view, Mr Trump was way too powerful,” Ms Crowley said, adding that Ms Martin believed Mr Trump had “hundreds of lawyers” who would “bury” Ms Carroll if she came forward.
